GUEST,Faye Roche fRoots magazine and folk clubs (317* d) RE: fRoots magazine and folk clubs 12 May 09


Sorry, no time to log in just now so I have to be quick...

The Magpie's is not a folk club as I would define it. I've been there twice and left halfway through both times. The organisers obviously have a knack for attracting an audience, but I prefer to listen to folk music without the accompaniment of people having shouted conversations across the bar or jabbering down their mobiles.

If that's your thing, fine, though I think it's a pity that what could have been a good club has become nothing more a drinking venue with live music. If that's the future of folk clubs then I'll give them a miss thank you.

The Living Tradition is a good magazine, but it's not nationally distributed is it? I've only ever seen it for sale in a few folk clubs.
